Abstract
Novel solid polymer electrolytes containing carboxy methylcellulose (CMC) are prepared based on the vary concentration (0 - 45 wt. %) of citric acid (CA) via solution casting technique. The ion conductivity is studied by electrical impedance spectroscopy and the ionic mobility, μ and the diffusion coefficient, D is investigated by transference number measurement. The highest ionic conductivity at room temperature (303K) is 4.38 x 10-7 S cm-1 for 40 wt. % CA. The values of μ+ and D+ were higher than μ- and D- respectively, implying that the CMC-CA solid polymer electrolytes are proton conductor.
